Abstract: A sanitary device for collecting and disposing of canine fecal matter is disclosed. The device uses a scooper device with a disposable bag which is formed from a bag blank. The bag blank has a collection portion on the upper surface, and a closure device for closing a bag formed therefrom. The closure device is attached to the periphery of the lower surface. During use the scooper device maintains the collection portion of the bag blank in a substantially flat condition. The bag blank, upon mounting for use, substantially covers and protects from soilage the scooper device. After canine feces is collected on the surface of the bag blank; the bag is formed by operating the scooper device; and, then is securely closed to form a disposable bag.
